Martha Wainwright--"Don't Forget"

[roberthatch]

These are the lyrics to my favorite song by Martha Wainwright, who I just saw in concert last night at the Chop Suey. She's wonderful.

"Don’t Forget"

Summer comes and the rain falls away
But the very next day
it seems the snow comes to stay.
And you, too, will go
just like the dog days do.
I’ll put on my hat, my gloves, my scarf,
to keep the cold apart.
But there are no hats, gloves, scarves for the heart,
just the cold wind that leaves its frosted mark
Don’t forget that I will always love you,
Just to remind that I helped you pave your pathway
When summer comes
in the fall it goes
the winter snows
spring it rains and you go.
In my silly mind I’ve gotten married to you
You’re across town, don’t even have a clue
Or these images that in ten years,
I’ll run into you and fall right back inside of you
Don’t forget that I will always love you
Just to remind that I helped you pave your pathway
The fall it goes
The winter it snows
The spring it rains
Summer comes and you go.
So, when will we meet next and where will it be
on a platform track, an old moving wheel
Cause time moves in circles
and can leave you all in love
Summer comes and in
The fall it goes
The winter snows
In the spring it rains and you go
Don’t forget that I will always love you
Just to remind that I helped you pave your pathway
The fall it goes
The winter snows
The spring and rain
Summer comes and you go

....and, a big thank you to you JDaman for sending the compilation cd. It was my privilege to let you listen in last night.
